Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Your privacy is very important to the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA). As part of the normal operation of the APA’s website, the APA may collect certain information from you. This privacy policy details what information the APA collects, how it uses that information and what your rights are regarding any information collected by APA. The APA is subject to certain requirements of applicable Australian, United States and Canadian law and strives to meet the requirements of the Australian Privacy Principles and the applicable United States and Canadian privacy laws.
The APA sustains your right to nondiscrimination with respect to the exercise of your rights under this policy all applicable law.
Your information and Your Right to Privacy
You can elect to provide the APA with as much or as little information as you choose although the APA requires a minimum set of information from you in order to provide you with access to the APA’s website. What you provide is your choice.
The APA will under no circumstances sell, rent, release, disclose, disseminate, make available, transfer or otherwise communicate orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, your personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. The APA has partnerships with commercial organisations and those partners will, from time to time, request that the APA send information to people on the APA database as part of the partnership. Any APA or partner information is sent by the APA and data is not provided to any third party unless required by law.
The APA may disclose personal information to the following service providers to satisfy standard operating procedures of the APA and to the best of its knowledge, the APA has entered into written contracts with those service providers to limit the use of personal information by those service providers to the business purpose of those contracts:

If you do not accept this privacy policy, please immediately stop using the APA’s website and/or the APA’s services or any part of them.

The APA is the controller responsible for your personal data. It has appointed a privacy officer who is trained and is responsible for overseeing issues of privacy. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including requests to exercise your legal rights relating to this policy, please contact the privacy officer at privacy@australian.physio. Records of your requests will be maintained by the APA.
The APA’s website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. The APA do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. The APA strongly recommends you read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
The APA adheres to the principles set out in data protection law when handling personal information and data. These principles require personal information and data to be:
- Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
- Collected and used only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes that are compatible with previously disclosed purposes, unless first providing you with notice and obtaining your consent otherwise. The limited sensitive information collected by the APA under this Privacy Policy will not be used or disclosed for a secondary purpose unless the secondary purpose is directly related to the primary purpose of collection and within your reasonable expectations
- Adequate, relevant and limited in collection to what is necessary and in relation to the purposes for which it is processed
- Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
- Not kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data is processed
- Processed in a manner that ensures its security using appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage
- Not transferred to another country without appropriate safeguards being in place
- Made available to data subjects and to allow data subjects to exercise certain rights in relation to their personal data
The APA is also responsible and accountable for ensuring that it can demonstrate compliance with the data protection principles listed above.

Women's Pelvic Health Level 2 - Part B
Informed Consent
The APA Women’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Level 2 was developed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) and Women’s Health Training Associates (WHTA).
This course is delivered through a blended learning model, and uses a mix of teaching and learning approaches with a focus on active learning and learner-centred strategies. The Australian Physiotherapy Association is committed to diversity, inclusion and eliminating discrimination. We value and celebrate people of diverse gender identity, sex characteristics and sexual orientations.
By registering for the Part B face-to-face course, you are agreeing to volunteer as a model for both vaginal examination (VE) and digital rectal examination (DRE). Please note, there are very limited places allocated for people who have a valid contraindication to VE or DRE to attend and not be required to model. Valid exclusion from being a model for the VE and/or the DRE will be considered on a case-by-case basis on receipt of a request prior to the course.
A valid reason to not model for the vaginal examination practical is not necessarily a valid reason to not model for the rectal examination, and vice versa.
Valid reasons for not modelling for the VE practical include:
- first trimester pregnancy
- high risk pregnancy (eg symptomatic placenta praevia, incompetent cervix, previous premature rupture of membranes in current pregnancy)
- if you are a person who does not have a vagina
- 8 weeks postpartum with lochia still present,
- severe vestibulodynia
- an active genital herpes outbreak
Being on your menstrual period will NOT be accepted as a valid reason to not be a model for the vaginal examination practical as up to a quarter of the group are likely to have their menstrual period during the course. However, whilst virginity is not a contra-indication in clinical practice, it will be accepted as a valid reason to not model in the practicum if the participant wishes not to volunteer.
How to submit a request
The reasons for requests will be treated in strict confidence. If the request is accepted, organisers and presenters will only be informed that you are not modelling for VE or DRE. They will not be provided the reasons.
To submit a request not to model:
-
Send an email that outlines:
- You are requesting to be allocated a non-volunteer place on the course
- Clearly identifies if you are requesting not to model for VE or DRE
- The reason for your request or request to speak to a presenter about your request
- Use the subject line: Women’s Pelvic Health L2 – request to not model
- Email the request to Karen.Ide@australian.physio or Joan.Condon@australian.physio
- All exemptions will be assessed by the course presenter & developer only and information will be kept confidential
IMPORTANT: For participants who have agreed to model:
It is a requirement that you notify the APA immediately in writing if your situation changes (prior to the course start date) and you cannot model. Whilst all attempts to accommodate you on the same course will be made, this cannot be guaranteed due to the need to have sufficient models on the course for the required learning.
